Idk I think the endless are the true reclaimers made by the precursor while humans are the creation of the forerunners to rival the precursor and use humans for their own good. Then the forerunners rewrote history to essentially write out the endless entirely and use humans to replace the endless in that part of history. This would be a nice theory and solution to bungie’s humans are forerunner plot line as humans could be seen as genetically modified forerunners with this theory while it also explains what the endless are and why they’re so deadly and significant. In fact a good plot point for the future of the endless is to have them help the primordial and the flood in total galactic consumption as the endless could be seen as the keepers of the will of the Precursor which would be awesome but terrifying.

The future for new story is so immense and bright because the amount thats already in the game is practically void. OG Halos had a good story because they focused on the cool shit but also panned over alot of side story content and breathed life into the lore, if infinite would litteraly have just 1 or 2 side characters on the human side we would be golden, I like this Halo more than 4 and 5 but its not there yet.. Why do marines spawn down from heaven? Why do the banished never take the offensive against you (Chief) specifically, (they have an entire army but spread it out ineffectively) they always wait for you, why do the "boss" or HVT enemies have such a backstory when litteraly nine thousand humans are missing and apparently never try to make contact AND Chief never bothers to save more than a couple marines :( This game is seriously lacking in campaign no matter how much I do like what IS there. The world seriously lacks realism that would come from having more than 6 main characters.

From the singular central eye, the myriad "wings" projecting from its back and the "vestments" hanging off it, it reminds me very much of interpretations of Thrones (those big eye angels with the wheels spinning around them) And considering the mythology of the Forerunners, both Bias role in it and the Judeau Christian analogs that was heavily present in Bungies interpretation of the Lore, I find it extremely appropriate.

My theory is pretty far out there, but it’s that the Xalayn were the first to be created by the Precursors, and made in the image of/to be the original inheritors of the Mantle and the Precursors’ Tech. and that in they actually were the ones employed by the Forerunners to create the Halos with the knowledge they inherited and that’s why they were sealed away and not re-seeded. Maybe because the remaining Forerunners (under the Librarian) wanted the humans to inherit the mantle. It’s all possible as in a previous video, Luc said that all the information of that era was passed through the forerunners and they could have omitted and changed details. Edit: Rewatching the video, 21:35 supports my point in the first paragraph of the Xalanyn being the ones the build the Halos, “not the purpose prescribed by the forerunners” and “an end which only she knew.” just screams that the Endless have more ties to the Halos besides Forerunners imprisoning their species there.

They might have changed the Keymind lore because it too closely resembles Dead Space bretherin moons and considering Halo came out first they didn't want people thinking the flood are just a rip on necromorphs especially since 343 is clearly pushing for a "wider" audience Whether we want that or not is a different story.

Just dropping a line to say that I really dig your style of storytelling, I can feel the passion and the tone&pace of your narration are spot-on. Keep up the good work and I hope you do more of this kind of stuff even if Halo Infinite is a sad mess, it doesn't have to be in the Halo Universe. It could also be your own fiction, just throwing out ideas.

So glad I found your channel! Years back, I would watch my late cousin play Halo for hours. I don’t really play games like this (the only game I can think of that’s similar, that I finished, is Bayonetta) and my cousin was so good it looked like I was watching a movie when he played. After he passed I lost track of what was going on in the story. Now that the show is out, I decided to jump on here to get caught up to date. I think I’m now on the 3rd video of yours and I’m loving it! I can hear in your voice how much you enjoy Halo. It’s infectious and makes me want to go get any and all books/comics of this saga… and of course, see more of your videos. Gotta see all of your takes on the show now!

It would be interesting if the endless were infact AI's themselves. Mechanical machines, with circuits and conduits, are very limited in the amount of sheer data they can store compared to what can be stored on biological material, such as DNA. If the precursors created complex life, then fully organic "smart AI" doesn't seem at all unlikely.
@richardiv3852 жыл бұрын
Considering how advanced the precursors were, shouldn’t advanced life and smart AI be essentially the same thing? They did seem to be interacting with the fabric of the universe in a fundamentally more intimate manner than even the forerunners. I’m kind of reminded of the divine machines in the Doom franchise .

The Endless seem to have control over time whereas the Precursors had control over space. I would much rather see them being basically masters of each side of space-time, perhaps ancient enemies as apposed to being the one and the same. Wouldn't make sense for them to all have a consistent form as lore has established and nor would they be "more dangerous than the Flood" if they were Precursors. Precursors turning into the Flood may actually be much worse of a threat than the Precursors themselves if they decided to go on a rampage. The Endless don't seem as dangerous either but I will mention that the end of Infinite there is a time warp in the portal that not many have talked about. Perhaps adapted Endless tech the Forerunners used or maybe something The Weapon used calculations from with Forerunner slipspace for a fast escape, like Cortana taking the Autumn from Reach to 04 via coding on that artifact.

Well it's pretty simple you can even see in game with the infection forms and carrier forms they don't set up traps and just wander and wander until they find a target to try and infect but more "intelligent" forms such as combat and pure forms will adapt and strategies to the situation happening around them.

Am I seriously the only one who has noticed the physical similarities between the harbinger and the ORIGINAL Bungie gravemind have in common? Harbinger: -Inner mouth/jaw with a spike clearly visible and used while speaking -Outer mouth/lips -External flaps/appendages that clearly function for amplifying speech, and possibly for food intake as well. Gravemind: -Inner mouth/jaw with a spike clearly visible and used while speaking -Outer jaw/lips -External flaps/appendages that clearly function for amplifying speech, and possibly for food intake as well. Sure the design was altered with the updated visuals for the Halo 2 remaster, but I can't help, but see the call back to the original design if for nothing else than an easter egg and honestly makes sense that their corrupted genetics would still manifest in some way, at some point. It's far too coincidental that they chose a design so overwhelmingly similar.
